no question he's free to do as he chooses..
Even the flip-flop statements of what he's gonna' do w/ the hokey 'documents' later don't matter..

Cool car and all, it just all makes me wonder how do threads that seemingly accept praise for cars and positions such as this fit in here on this of all sites?!

good question,I dont know how this car appeared on this site to begin with.I was not a member of this site.Last year it appeared on this site.Somebody informed me of it with a link on an email.Then again and again it appeared on this site.This thread initially started out as a positive compliment for making the cover of Hemmings Muscle Machines.But then soon turned somewhat south.I'm not complaining as this is the choice i took after realizing how controversial it became.I stuck with it and will continue do do so.

as far as being flip flop.i will continue to do so.....I'm not running for office so my character can be shady if i may choose.I may just display all without any remorse.

thank you for letting me see the light without any guilt.....

Wait till you see my next project it may be,

a Z16 convertible

L79 67 nova.

ZL1 69 camaro....

but perhaps i wont say anything on whats fake or not....

WATCH OUT!!!!!!!

Wagonman. That last statement by you is what all of us honest folks in the hobby are afraid of. Not only by YOU, but by many others who have tried it (some successfully) and others who are contemplating it.
Whether or not your initial intentions were as you say, I still have an extreme objection to what you have done. I also have an extreme objection to the Hemmings magazine putting your car on the COVER. As I said before, it's a bitter-sweet situation. I have strong negative feelings toward the magazine for doing that, but I also am glad that the issue will (should) follow your car forever, so that no one can try to prove the car is legit.

I've spent the last 25 years of my life trying to compile information needed to verify the authenticity of 58-64 full sized Chevrolets, and I will NEVER EVER condone the making of a cowl tag, or ANY fake documentation of ANY kind.

The only information that should EVER be displayed with your car is the ORIGINAL documentation. As far as I'm concerned, your car might as well have a blower through the hood. It's a "modified" car, and nothing more (no matter how nice it is).

In 100 years, is the copy of the magazine article still going to be in the trunk????????????????????? You can't answer that question.

Just another guy wrecking this great hobby.

Calm down fellas. He is getting his button pushed and is pushing back. The car is nice enough to be on the cover of a magazine and I don't think Hemmings has a policy of only featuring cars with real documentation. With the quality of work you do you might as well do it to a real car next time.

I didn't think Hemmings had a policy of featuring cars with fake documentation either.

Did anyone notice the car featured after John's was a clone / no excuse me / a phantom also??

[Verne_Frantz]

Dog, They seemed to make that a theme of that issue. 3 cars (I think) were singled out as "never were, but could have been". A pretty lame theme for that magazine, in my opinion....

Verne: I think you are a perty LAME person to be talking to anyone on this site when you are not even a sYc member. Now thats my opinion of your statement. How do you like to be Slap for a change? Frank261 Huffy Rail Ridder

[SS427]

Verne is a well respected member of this site and has been around for a long time and helped MANY people. He voiced his opinion on the subject and nothing more. If you want any of that same respect I would be cautious how you comment further. JMO
